The Gateway Affirmation
I am more than my physical body. Because I am more than physical matter, I can perceive that which is greater than the physical world. Therefore, I deeply desire to Expand, to Experience; to Know, to Understand; to Control, to Use such greater energies and energy systems as may be beneficial and constructive to me and to those who follow me. Also, I deeply desire the help and cooperation, the assistance, the understanding of those individuals whose wisdom, development, and experience are equal to or greater than my own. I ask their guidance and protection from any influence or any source that might provide me with less than my stated desires.

(Note: This Affirmation has evolved over time. On some Gateway Experience tapes it may be slightly different from the way it is presented here. Both versions will help you make the most of your experiences. Remember, it is the intent rather than the words themselves that is important.) Comments From Robert A. Monroe Regarding The Gateway Experience Sometimes it’s hard to determine a beginning, the point where an idea becomes a reality. The Gateway Programs are not in this category. We remember well when they started. In 1973, at Whistlefield Research Laboratories, in Afton, Virginia, we were conducting research studies on the effects of the environment on human consciousness. The Esalen organization at Big Sur, California, famous as the birthplace of many new trends in psychology and philosophy, heard of our work and invited us to conduct a weekend workshop at their facility. As a result, we had many requests to repeat the process elsewhere. Our Executive Committee approved this new activity as a means of broadening our research model – and indeed it did. Originally called the M-5000 Program, sessions were held on weekends at various sites throughout the United States and Canada. Several thousand individuals from all walks of life participated in this constantly evolving series of training exercises. When we understood better the process taking place, we renamed it the Gateway Voyage Program – because what we were presenting was a Gateway, a means by which the individual could move into the exploration, knowledge, and understanding of oneself as well as the many reality systems where one has existence. The Gateway Experience is a special version of the Gateway Voyage Program. Designed for in-home application, it incorporates methods and techniques of the Gateway, adapted so that you can benefit from it wherever and whenever you so desire. Consisting of six exercises on tape cassettes, Discovery is the first album in this course. There are a total of six albums (thirty-six tapes) in the Gateway Experience. Sequentially, the remaining albums are: Threshold, Freedom, Adventure, Exploring, and Prospecting. Each tape and album contain a specific pattern of training. Accordingly, it is very important that you work with them in sequence. With in-home training, you have a definite advantage. You can repeat each exercise until you feel comfortable and proficient with its use. Do this. Then move to the next. The sound pattern you will hear on the tapes is a scientific process that helps you develop and absorb these Gateway states of consciousness. It is not hypnosis, although some of the techniques seem similar. The Gateway forms of consciousness show significantly different EEG brain-wave patterns from those of hypnosis subjects. At present, there is controversy as to what such patterns truly mean and how to categorize them. What can you expect from the Gateway Experience? As much or as little as you put into it. The exercises provide you with a set of tools – how you use them and what you do with them is your responsibility. Some discover themselves for the first time, and thus live more completely, more constructively. Others reach levels of awareness so profound that only one such experience is enough for a lifetime. Still others become seekers-after-truth and add an on-going adventure to their daily activities. There is one basic promise – that you seriously consider the Gateway Affirmation at the least a possibility: that you are more than your physical body, that you can and do exist in energy systems that are not limited to time-space, that you can and do communicate with intelligence beyond your physical consciousness – call it what you will.

Brain Power
The Benefits of Hemispheric Synchronization Perhaps even before recorded history, humans have sought to understand and enhance perception. By doing so, we are better able to understand and enhance our daily lives. The questions surrounding how we perceive, or how we go about making sense of our awareness, stimulate many avenues of inquiry. One of these avenues, science, has long known that our brains are divided into two halves, or hemispheres. In muscle functions, the nerve signals from these brain hemispheres act in an X crossover. The left brain controls the right side of the body, and the right brain controls the left side. But only in recent years has it been discovered that these two hemispheres may be quite different in the functions they perform. Research indicates that we use the left brain primarily to talk and read, do mathematics, to reason deductively, to remember detail, and to measure time, among other facets. It is the vehicle for logical, rational thought. Our right brain is the vehicle for ideas, spatial sense, intuition, music, emotion, and probably much more than we now realize. It apparently has a language all its own. Moreover, most of the time we think with our left brain. When we use our right brain, it is primarily to support the thought and action of the left. Otherwise, we often ignore it. Since its inception, the left-brain/right-brain theory has been under controversy. To stay apart from this unresolved conflict, our representation here is merely symbolic. Regardless of the physical location, we apparently have at least two distinct ways of perceiving and thinking. For the moment, the terms „left brain” and „right brain” serve only as identifying labels, or as a metaphor. We are primarily a right-handed civilization, dominated by our left brains. How did we get this way? No one is absolutely sure, but one of the better guesses is that the leftbrain dominance came about because of a basic need to survive in a physical world. Through thousands of years, our forebears added to left-brain dominance because that was the way to get things done. Our entire system-books, schools, colleges and universities, industry, political structures, churches – is fundamentally left-brained in learning, application. and operation. We have generally regarded right-brain thinking with amused tolerance, suspicion, disgust, irritation, distrust – and awe. However, recent studies show we use our right brain throughout our daily lives in many subtle ways. For example, the left brain remembers the name, but the right brain remembers the face. (How many times have you spotted a familiar face but couldn’t remember his or her name?) Studies of world leaders throughout history indicate they were thinkers who used far more than the analytical, intellectual portions of their minds. All great decisions by these leaders have been made with the left brain PLUS. Plus the right brain? Evidence supports it, based upon what we now know. How, then, do we go about using more of our brain power? There is a method and technique that offers much promise and potential. It can be utilized with relative ease, does not require years of intensive training, and is not limited to a narrow band of application. It is called HEMI-SYNC, which is short for hemispheric synchronization. Developed by The Monroe Institute, this process uses pulses of sound to create in both brain hemispheres electrical wave forms simultaneously equal in frequency and amplitude.

The Gateway Experience
As are all Gateway Programs. as more sophisticated methods of exploration were developed. it has been one of the fundamental reasons for the success of the Gateway Programs.

The Institute goal is to provide techniques for exploring your full potential and for „travelling”.The Institute was granted a patent in 1975 based upon the use of such sound pulses to induce a frequency following response (FFR) in the human brain. Hemi-Sync takes the process an important additional step. your brain tends to respond to. volition. It is never an actual sound. but an electrical signal created by both brain hemispheres acting and working together.

Out-of-body exploration in this exercise is based on the concept that sleep is a natural Gateway into other states of reality. other energy systems. Repeat this process twice again. For the purpose of this exercise. state your affirmation. do your Resonant Tuning. Here is an example of how the process of energy conversion can work: You may go to your box and the first fear you perceive is the fear of speaking up in groups.

Perceiving the separation between these energies is a major step in learning more about your personal makeup. Floating up is often associated with thoughts of flying. the experience are totally. solely yours. an OBE typically feels very natural and offers a sense of unbounded freedom. The next step is to practice various separation techniques. Using these techniques. One effective way to do this is to incorporate into your daily life what you learn by using the Gateway Experience. find yourself unable to move. say in your mind or think the number one. or a fear of being separated from the physical self or body. go back to the Discovery instructions on page 25 and review the REBAL. develop friendships with nonphysical entities.(possibly nonhuman) form. Thus. one may experience a reality shock. you should be completely familiar with the Resonant Energy Balloon (REBAL). we recommend that you begin developing OBEs by learning to create high energy states. „Liftoff” guides you through the process of getting your REBAL well formed. gliding. You may wish to explore the solar system. or simply fly over the nearest treetops. Experiment until you find a technique that feels good and then practice it. At this point in your training. through patience and relaxed effort. Others use specific techniques. This exercise demonstrates how the REBAL relates to you-not simply to your physical body. „Liftoff” offers you something very important – that perspective. When the energy builds suddenly. the adventure. Theoretically. or soaring. you will discover more distinctions between physical and nonphysical energies. and you will be in C-1. our research indicates that a conscious OBE may be one result of achieving a high energy state. moving the fingers of your right hand. If you feel stiff. The exercises in Freedom will help you learn more about OBE separation processes.
Freedom #1: Liftoff
This exercise is designed to help you become completely calm and comfortable from a perspective that has little or nothing to do with your physical body. map the terrains of and between physical and nonphysical realities. Thinking habits also apply to fear. Like

. governed only by who you are and how you wish to grow. with your awareness inside. if one has let go of physical habits to some extent. or feel as though you’ve lost complete contact with your physical body. Repeat it until the process is so familiar that you can perform it at will when you reach Focus 10. physically wide awake and alert. the goal would then be learning how to perform this natural process consciously. The possibilities are endless. If one’s consciousness is still attached to physical reality during an OBE. In both instances. but it does give you the perspective of such action and movement. As such.

Nave a friend select a specific location in their home or office where a target object can be placed. in order to prepare for this experiment. reference to time and space while Remote Viewing is necessary only in order to determine the appropriate time and place in which to immerse your awareness. Then. how your perceptions work. This exercise provides you with the means by which you can perform actual demonstrations utilizing the energy tools you now have available. an empty table top. Mind Reach. you may first want to listen to the tape prior to actually performing this experiment. Gateway stories concerning Remote Viewing are legion. The perception of space is different in Focus 10 such that the awareness of a location or person can flow into. as well as our perceptions. and also establishes the need for being time conscious. Remote Viewing has much to teach us about our assumptions. To become familiar with this technique. Therefore. thereby thinking he missed the exercise.” Center yourself in the you that is nonphysical energy. to return safely and easily. It can be a window sill. Are you more apt to sense geometric shapes. You will also find that it provides the assurance of your ability. and events. As you envelop the object with your awareness. The bag should be large enough to hold small

. objects. explore how you perceive. rather than the you of your physical body. A woman got lost in a blizzard when we used an almost empty flour sack in which to place our target. you will need to do the following: 1. as he was walking back to the building. This is almost like calling that person or place to you. or merge with. white paper bag. or an out-of-the-way counter. can you perceive apples but not cigarettes)? Scientists Harold Puthoff and Russell Targ define the hazards of interpreting versus describing in their book. A man felt silly to report finding a quarter moon in daylight when he tried to see in a paper bag. Quickly going outside after the tape. is to place your Energy Bar Tool at the center of your consciousness and let it stretch or flow to the person. Ensure the object stands alone as a target. At a Gateway session in Richmond. or having your awareness reach out to that person or place. a young man „saw” a very distinctive red car in front of the building. place. A man reported being stuck in a dark. dank. Once you have acquired the technique. or event you wish to perceive. the red car was there. places. Virginia. Once you are secure with this knowledge. they reported that one subject interpreted a cement rectangle filled with water as a swimming pool. or textures? What makes you say specific words about the things you perceive? What are the core feelings? Does an object’s function affect your ability to resonate with it (for example. The cement rectangle with water in it was a sewage processing plant. you can develop your own ways of using it. Focus 10 is not subject to the C-1 concepts of time and space. exactly as he had seen it. Use this exercise until it is very familiar to you. The target was an old shoe. colors.standing in an elevator. it is quite easy to move away farther than the exercise provides. Obtain a clean. underground cave. As you see. Experiment. Practice with „Liftoff” – and have fun! Freedom #2: Remote Viewing Remote Viewing One method of extending your consciousness in order to perceive distant people. In it. The target was a lemon wedge in a teacup. you rise without effort by feeling as though you were relaxing or „settling down. your awareness. This shows the ease of Remote Viewing. he was crushed not to find the red car. After lunch. and scored a miss.

The experiment should be set for a specific time agreed upon by you and your friend. The exercise guides you in conceptualizing the face of a clock. you might want to allow more time to make notes of your experiences following the exercise and prior to contact with your friend. prompt feedback accelerates the development of Remote Viewing skills. And remember. You may find yourself more proficient in one part of the exercise than another. 9. Again. and understand. Remember the Energy Bar Tool (EBT) that you have developed. As with most learning. And ensure that you can verify by phone or otherwise the results of your experiment with this person. and with the idea of the target already having been placed inside the white bag by your friend. This person should also be separated by some distance from you. Be sure to make special note of your accurate conclusions. Until you are proficient.2. In fact. Explore why you feel the way you do a bout those perceptions. Perception utilizing nonphysical energy is not limited to ordinary concepts of time and space. Write down the information you will give to your friend. why these patterns are a part of your life. by all means repeat the process and concentrate on the section that is most effective and build from there.” write down the perceptions that you have concerning the target. it is a good way to learn this process of establishing direction – by relating it to the location of your physical body. 4. As you progress. Arrange with a friend to have a small table or cleared area set up at a distance (at least not in the same room) from where you will be listening to the exercise. Review your notes. It helps you go and return with a sense of direction. Always log your results. Arrange with your friend to select a small object. Have your friend describe the location of the white bag. Six

. only a greater understanding of our awareness. this means not in the same room. This is a technique that will enable you to perform Remote Viewing. 3. As you work with „Remote Viewing. Many of these you will develop on your own. Begin this exercise with the knowledge that you will use your EBT. The entire pattern may not work well for you the first time. 5. or thing. Try to look at. Pay particular attention to why you arrived at any conclusions about the target. 6. Encoding Memory Freedom #3: Vectors „Vectors” provides reference points to enable you to repeat any explorations with or without using these exercises. This exercise uses three-dimensional space for such reference points. your friend can be several thousand miles away since distance makes no difference in Remote Viewing. 8. Your friend should be someone with whom you can verify the experiment. If you cannot reach the person immediately by phone. Finally. which may be a little misleading when working with nonphysical energy. Review your inaccurate æonclusions and try to understand why they may have be in error. and should have a specific or set duration – usually the length of the exercise. request that your friend forward you a written report of the target for verification. However. there is no failure in psychic functioning. Patterns will emerge over time. This can be a specific object or a photograph of a person. you will begin to perceive extensions that are naturally developed by the „Vectors” system.” try to integrate your newfound strengths into your daily life. At the conclusion of „Remote Viewing. to place in the bag. get in touch with your friend and determine if your results are accurate.

Also. Notice the feelings associated with perceiving beyond your physical body. comfortable. for the third . Keep in mind that these kinds of responses. three o’clock is just outside your left hip. then to below your feet at six o’clock. the more you utilize it. They are given to you during the exercise.
Freedom #4: Five Questions
This exercise will be the start of a process that you will utilize often on your own. Who am I? 2. then around to nine o’clock just beyond your right hip. as you become proficient. „Vectors” may require several repetitions before you become proficient with the method. Where and who was I before I entered this physical being? 3. Here are the five questions that you will ask in Focus 12. the more effective it will become. Beyond this. Thus. number three on the face is directly out in front of your hips and abdomen. and nine o’clock is just beyond your right hip. In each of these steps. but it is helpful to review them in advance.o’clock is always just below the bottoms of your feet. The second part of the exercise rotates the face of the clock ninety degrees. You begin at twelve above your head. In the first step of the exercise. you can have many points of exploration in this three-dimensional pattern. They will probably be in the form of a series of pictures. you learn to extend or move your perception around the face of the clock. it can become a very automatic pattern in any exploration. whether they are from your total self. you can provide your own questions of a more direct and specific nature. The number nine. It poses five questions for which you seek answers. then outward and upward to the new nine position which is just beyond and away from the back of your waist and hips. It is then up to you to translate this nonverbal communication into time/space words and visual representations. 1. Starting at twelve o’clock above your head. you are guided forward and outward to the new three o’clock position just in front of your feet. therefore. are only the beginning. stimulating. you move around the face of thc clock and then return to the original position. However. move out and around to your left side at three o’clock. What is the most important message that I can receive and understand at this point in my existence? The answers to these questions will most likely not be perceived as a spoken or written word. During the first section. What is my purpose for this existence in physical matter reality? 4. you will learn to establish new vectors. Certainly. is directly behind you. From there the movement is upward and inward to the twelve position at the top of your head. The number twelve still remains above your head. Repeat
27
. or even as a source of information. These. just beyond your hips and waist. Eventually. Detect any interesting or unusual features while focusing in a particular direction. or from an external source. are natural. such as a three o’clock position halfway between the three to the side and the three to the front. part of this exercise. of course. It is important that you remember and log in your notes a vector that you find easy. What action can I now take to serve this purpose best? 5. or other methods of perception you have been working with. As these maneuvers are performed. a sense of feeling or knowing. note any significant changes in your personal awareness and remember this change in relation to the position on the clock.

or if you did not obtain an answer in the first run-through. As you learn these methods. participants through the years. This ability will then have become a part of you. Reorientation with the physical is quite simple: you rotate until your second body is in alignment with the physical again. palms up. and joyous. is simply practice. you will learn to make more distinctions between your physical and nonphysical energies. What you will learn is that by simply extending your hands outward. thereby localizing your awareness in either your physical or second body. comfortable. slowly and easily rotate and roll this energy. Thus the exercise. moving outward and turning over as you do so. Nourishment will come from the very energy that you have been using and exploring during these exercises. You will obtain energy in a way other than the ordinary method of eating. In order to evaluate your progress proper conduct tests with the method shortly after each time you take the exercise.

. Others may require two or three sessions. it is your option to select the method most comfortable for you. or for clarification. Much like a log floating in water. The moment you feel such release. Notice if you feel better. and you are then reintegrated. absorb. If you fail to do this. Focus on the nonphysical energy within your physical body. That is. it is possible to „peel” out of your physical body. Each has been used successfully many times by. Effectively performing this exercise will guide you to a deeper understanding of your total self. The application of this new tool is similar to many of the others in the Gateway Experience. you will perceive. At that point you might perceive something akin to a little click. you no longer need to use the tape. Once you have stabilized this „out of phase” condition between your physical and nonphysical energies. and store energy. perhaps only 90 to 180 degrees. you may wish to combine one or more of these methods. The method you will learn is designed to be applied in C-1 after you return from this exercise. In your own way. you might continue spinning. Once you begin to achieve results. an encoding of the process. It is as simple as that. rather than actual application. Encoding Energy food Freedom #6: First-Stage Separation „First-Stage Separation” enables you to take a major step in having conscious control of the total energy system that is you.
Freedom #5: Energy Food
This exercise trains you in a method to restore depleted energy. if you feel more energized. you might have only a partial rotation. This exercise guides you through five different methods o disassociation from your physical body. Do so until what seems to be „surface tension” releases and you rotate freely as if there were an axis running directly through the length of your body. you will be guided through the following processes: 1. itself. it is important to release the pressure that you have been putting upon such rotation. This will better enable you to separate your awareness of these energies. and can be used frequently as the desire arises.„Five Questions” if you need to understand a particular answer better. Many of the previous exercises have been aimed at making this particular exercise more understandable. If you release the pressure too early. Some people will retain and utilize it after only one session. As with other tools.

To become proficient in the Gateway Experience requires much the same commitment. it is possible to remove or control the emotion gradually so that other parts of your total self can direct your experiences for the best possible outcome. all you need do is think of some part of your physical body. As a result. whenever you want to reintegrate completely and immediately with your physical body.” That is. a sense of excitement shifts one’s attention back to the physical body. All of these methods and techniques require practice. you may return to your physical body using the „Return to C1” encoding. then your legs. turning away and moving to a more distant position from your physical body can become a daily practice. then waist and abdomen. You begin to contemplate how pleasant it is to float upward. you slowly back out and away from your physical body. or taking a cold shower) ensures a complete reintegration. you move your second body slowly out of your physical body – head first. then shoulders. The third technique involves „backing away from the physical. Remember. such as the fingers on your right or left hand. then chest. From that point.) Often when one becomes aware of a separation of the second body. 5. 4. once this is achieved. you’ll be able to experience the occasion fully. 3. You always have such control. use these techniques to develop patience and relaxed effort. . This natural reaction is especially true for one’s first OBE. The fifth method involves attaching an emotional value to the concept of floating and/or soaring. The most important factor is patience. Once you have achieved this. You may even feel yourself moving down through whatever you are lying on. At this point. to help you reduce the chance of this possibility. (For descriptions and elaboration of these and other techniques. Then. your only connection is where your energy feet are still in proximity to your physical feet. and your second body responds to this emotional wish. The fourth method involves moving out of the top of your head as if you are a thin spray of gas or fog.
WAVE IV: ADVENTURE
In this series of exercises you are provided a dynamic expression of consciousness beyond Freedom – that of a personally controlled and directed Adventure. it often reforms quite naturally into a replica of your physical body. The second method is one where you conceive of your second body as a rigid pole. until you are standing or are rigidly at 90 degrees from your physical body. doing chores. when you do have an OBE. In addition to the methods already mentioned. Then. if you are still connected with your physical body. you are free to behave as you desire. The learning and application of one enhances and improves the use of another. please refer to Robert Monroe’s book.2. Journeys Out of the Body. Again. like a cloud. It is important that you have

. Practice will assist you in becoming more aware of processes to go out-of-body. Continued stimulation (such as walking. Stimulating your physical awareness immediately initiates the return process. Therefore. The title implies new experiences. and start to move that part of your body. new friends.1s with all exercises. simply reverse your intent and tilt backward into your body. The knowledge that you have this „quick return” procedure will only increase your sense of freedom. new ideas. To become a superb concert pianist requires many hours of practice. Always bear in mind that you have an immediate means to return fully to your physical body. desire itself is sufficient to enable a complete separation of your second body from your physical body. Or. Using your feet as a pivotal point. the effects of working with these various energy tools are cumulative. Once you have removed your second body from your physical self. one tends to re-enter the physical body immediately. new places. and new excitement.

but to interpret them after the exercise. then to Focus 12. NVC appears to be a primary method of conscious interaction in and among energy systems. second.will simply be working with a different time period. NVC is not to be confused with body language. living action. Such communication does take place continually. It is a background against which you can move into planned. either consciously or otherwise. This is a noninvasive sound that will gently remind you of where and who you are. move to Focus 10. Any use of these exercises without such prior experience is not recommended. and finally the first most important message for you at this time.
Adventure #3: Free Flow 12
This is an exercise that you will utilize again and again. Please keep in mind that the process of NVC is different from the process of C-1 communication. As a result. It is important not to try to analyze the messages as you receive them.completed all previous Gateway Experience Waves of Change exercises. or physical responses without words. After you arrive at Focus 12. Before working with this exercise.
Adventure #4: NVC
NVC is short for Non-Verbal Commmication. then ask for the fourth. but it is not NVC. Dreams are principally NVC. Both forms of communication require perception of some kind of data. light. To fully enjoy your adventures. You will perform the preparatory process. and then translation of that data to establish meaning.
Adventure #1: One-Year Patterning
This is an opportunity to design exactly how and what you desire to be one year into the future. systematic explorations in whatever direction you choose. Please see Threshold #3: One-Month Patterning on page 40 to review all recommendations for patterning. In previous exercises. These and other unique forms of perception you develop will comprise your NVC vocabulary. Often information appears in nonverbal form utilizing the means of perception that you have been cultivating throughout the Gateway Experience. You . NVC is total expression. This exercise is your primary lesson in NVC. plan carefully the pattern you wish to establish. Allow yourself to establish new meanings for familiar perceptions. It occurs in the mind. third. and in mind-to-mind communication. begin to learn and use NVC. You will first ask for the fifth most important message. Rarely are the messages simply verbal. The process is identical. you will be introduced to the beacon guidepost.
Adventure #2: Five Messages
The Five Messages are arranged in order of importance. It is better to decide on your purpose before you begin so as not to fail into a sleep or dream state during the exercise. emotion. you developed tools and methods of perception. it will enable you to roam free and far without concern of drifting and forgetting your purpose. Now you 30
.. or realities. You have also encountered it many times in your Gateway Experience exercises – in vibrations. where intelligence has a specific level of awareness.

and what you want to experience. using your Energy Bar Tool. You will direct yourself – where you want to go. In the first two Exploring exercises. It can also serve as an agreed-upon meeting place with friends. after that you will deliberately establish the Focus level that is most comfortable for you for any particular exercise. With these exercises you will learn to achieve goals and create experiences without instructions from the tape. For example. or simply observe events and activities occurring there.
Adventure #5: NVC II
This is additional instruction in NVC. Work with it until you obtain results. Here.” Furthermore. Here. by this time in your Gateway Experience training. you will use Focus 10 and Focus 12 Hemi-Sync signals to help you arrive at those levels. and associate with other energy or energy systems. your first impression may be that of simply listening to musical sounds. But the music and Hemi-Sync sounds you hear are actually the Focus 10 and Focus 12 processes in a new form. Begin with the preparatory 31
. This Metamusic has been specifically composed to help you further develop Non-Verbal Communication (NVC). The difference is that there are no verbal instructions that may detract from your experience. In turn. With this help. Any use of these exercises without such prior experience is not recommended. There are no verbal instructions – the process is controlled solely by your mental direction. Changes in the frequencies of the Hemi-Sync signals automatically guide you in creating different states of consciousness.
Adventure #6: Compoint
Compoint is our abbreviation for Communications Point – a state of consciousness that you can establish and return to whenever you desire. Focus 12 might work best for you for patterning. the direction is totally yours. You will continue to recognize translation and conceptualization techniques. The Metamusic guides you through these exercises as you use the methods for reaching Focus 10 and Focus 12 that you have already learned.
WAVE V: EXPLORING
When you listen to these exercises. and then on to states of expanded awareness and self-exploration. you gather information. The more advanced you become in NVC the broader your perception will be in all states of being. or asking for guidance. you have the expertise to regulate which Focus level you experience. It is important that you have completed all previous Gateway Experience Waves of Change exercises. problem solving. With no verbal reminders of C-1. meet. you may explore a more powerful and effective Focus 10 experience. you may find that Focus 10 works best for you for Remote Viewing. you will sense your progression through the now-familiar preparatory process (Resonant Tuning sounds remain on each tape). through NVC. or practicing out-of-body techniques.
Exploring #1: Mission 10
This Focus 10 exercise is similar to „Free Flow 12” in that you should have a specific purpose in mind before beginning.will develop a form of total communication. You no longer need your verbal „training wheels. Then practice without the tape.

perform the preparatory process and choose your desired Focus level.” but the underlying audio signals will assist you into Focus 12. After the preparatory process. The sound patterns on this thirty-minute exercise are intended to evoke memories.
Exploring #3: Mission Day
This fifteen-minute exercise is designed to help you make the most of your day.
Exploring #5: Horizons
Here is an opportunity to look inward and explore.
Exploring #4: Mission Night
Listen to this thirty-minute exercise as you go to sleep at night. feelings. After completing the preparatory process. return to C-1 using the method(s) most comfortable for you. and to allow you to experience them in new ways.
Exploring #2: Mission 12
This is a Free Flow 12 exercise-NVC style. Over time you will notice threads of continuity connecting your experiences. As usual. Carry out your stated purpose using tools you’ve learned in previous Gateway Experience exercises. so you may want to review Threshold #3: One-Month Patterning on page 40. the change in Hemi-Sync frequencies will automatically signal when it is time to move through each phase. This exercise can help set the tone for a successful day. Express your goal not in words. Your perceptions during this exercise may be different each time or they may build upon one another. to name a few).” this exercise can help open doors to unexplored places within you. (See Free Flow Methods of Exploration on page 33. but lead you into restful sleep. You may want to have an out-of-body experience. This is a patterning process. Use it in the morning before you begin your activities. The possibilities are unlimited. Actually see and feel the accomplishment of the day’s goal.process. Have your purpose firmly in mind before you begin the tape. Then just relax and let it happen – there is no need for a specific purpose. After you have completed the preparatory process. This exercise will not bring you back to wakefulness. and move on to Focus 10. problem solving. then come back to C-1 when it is time to return. proceed to Focus 10 and then to Focus 12. just listen and allow the sounds to lead you along new paths. from which you will awake refreshed. and events. On the surface. but in active mental pictures and in feelings. or you may determine that each is unique. whichever is most comfortable for you. „Mission 12” may sound the same as „Mission 10. receive a message. solve a problem. asking questions. go to Focus 10 or to Focus 12 (whichever is best for you) and express that which you want to achieve during the day. Again. Accomplish whatever purpose you have selected (patterning. Record your experiences.) When you sense a change in the sound patterns.
Exploring #6: Pathways

. or exploring a new idea or locale. Pattern to direct your sleep experience. or remember your dreams more accurately. Complete the preparatory process and move on to Focus 10 or to Focus 12.

“Who or what will I be during my next life experience?” Ask. What do nonphysical systems of energy feel like? What is the landscape? Are there inhabitants? • Imagine yourself reaching out and touching a tree. The hunt can he almost as much fun as the discovery. whenever you want. • Trust in and build your NVC as you travel beyond the familiar time/space/physical matter reality. golden recognition. As in the old gold rush days. Feel it rooted in both the earth and sky. To help you generate your own ideas for exploring. “Who or what was I before this life?” and then. Again. or artifact of knowledge which is important to your personal growth. a „mine of the mind. vitality. Just for fun. and future. and then feel the flowing of energies from above and below gathering within you.” The Prospecting tapes provide the tools to dig for that diamond of thought. • Perceive and communicate with the unique consciousness of all life forms. Then the Hemi-Sync frequencies will gently guide you in creating different states of consciousness. The Metamusic is designed to take you one step further with NVC. shift between Focus levels randomly. What do you experience? Imagine yourself going deep within yourself. Resonant Tuning sounds are still included to help you complete the preparatory process.
Energy Walks
Your growing knowledge and understanding of NVC is preparing you for the infinite possibilities of personal exploration and development. to fly. and life forces swirling a round you. here are a few suggestions: • Travel in and through time by asking. and flowing deeply within you. • Allow a breeze to move gently around you. Travel to its core. present.down old ones you may have long ago forgotten. what do you experience?
WAVE VI: PROSPECTING
Everyone has their own mine in which to dig for elusive treasures. How do you perceive the energy of a cloud? Can you communicate with a flower? What NVC does a dog use? • Perceive yourself in ocean surf and feel the energies of movement. Prospecting will provide you with further experiences in Non-Verbal Communication (NVC). As with Exploring. Sense the energy that gives you freedom – freedom to move. you can experience „the find” and capitalize on your unique and inborn treasures. return to C-1 by the method(s) you choose. “Does the future influence the past?” “Does the past influence the future?” Then perceive yourself growing in a way you want to grow. “Where do I feel more at home?” Explore connections between past.
33
. • Imagine yourself going deep within the earth. to float. to be light. emerald feeling. and notice if this awareness affects what you have thus far experienced. It is important that you have completed all previous Gateway Experience Waves of Change exercises. What changes do you notice? When the Hemi-Sync signals change at the end of this thirty-minute exercise. there are no verbal instructions. But don’t take our word for it – stake your own claims and find the rich veins waiting for you as you go prospecting. Any use of these exercises 4vithout such prior experience is not recommended.

the Hemi-Sync signals will bring you back to your starting point. Use patterning to bring about the changes you have set for yourself. after completing the preparatory process. Then. Various studies indicate there is reason to believe that the body’s polarity routinely shifts from positive to negative and back again in cycles. then to Focus 12.
34
. Our subjects have found that the Null Point provides a useful „window” for heading in any direction of mind activity. Pay attention to subtle changes in your awareness. This vein was unearthed in our laboratory while working with test subjects. mentally set your goals before you begin the tape. go to Focus 10. you will explore the treasure trove that is your physical body.
Prospecting #2: Bio-Body
With this exercise. To reach this state of pure potential. and go to the Focus level that is most comfortable to you. Our laboratory. After completing the preparatory process. You’re hunting the gems of metamorphosis. Our research suggests that a deliberate shift in polarity indicates that one is experiencing a change in consciousness. The Hemi-Sync sounds will assist you in returning. of change.
Prospecting #3: Null Point
This exercise can lead you to a rich and lasting gold vein in the mine of your mind. Then the Hemi-Sync signals can guide you beyond Focus 12 to the Null Point. As with all the tapes in this home-study course. Passing through the Null Point in this exercise can lead. The more you use this exercise the more familiar you’ll become with your physical being. Perform the preparatory process. Notice if you recognize more aspects of nonphysical energy. go to Focus 10 or Focus 12 (whichever seems right for you). This tape is designed to create at the mental level the changes that you desire. you to discover untold treasures in and of time and space.
Prospecting #5: Near Reaches
Stake your personal claim in the physical universe. We have observed that such a shift indicates a substantial change from C-1 awareness to nonphysical awareness. Complete the preparatory process and go on to Focus 12. begin a thorough examination of your physical body and its rhythms using the appropriate tools (such as your Living Body Map and Energy Bar Tool).
Prospecting #4: Plus Polarity
Strike it rich! The purpose of this exercise is to lead you through the Null Point to the opposite polarity from where’ you started. At the Null Point. Therefore. As a result. you’ll be better able to maintain or restore optimum physical balance and well-being. instruments suggest that the Null Point is where the body’s electric polarity shifts into a neutral phase.Prospecting #1: Metamorphosite
The prospecting is good at this site. then to Focus 12. you may purposefully decide exactly what to explore. Allow the frequencies to assist your shift in polarity. Go from the preparatory process to Focus 10.
